First we saw the Marilyn Monroe shape of this little figure-hugger...then, we drooled over the lace and faggoting on the deep neckline...we saw mid 50s...Long, lean, and man-bait!
Then the John Doyle Bishop tag..an old fancy-schmancy Seattle dress shop...$$$Olde Money$$$.

But what was it made of? mmmm....Forstmann wool. Of course. A lovely lightweight wool jersey...and fully lined in sheer chiffon. And did I mention....a nice size, too?

But it wasn't until I got home went looking for flaws ..did I see the Karen Stark for Harvey Berin tag.

It does have a small repair at the slim kimono sleeve...but I swear, it hides very well.....and the rest of the dress.....The quality, The fit, The style ...makes up for the boo-boo. Coming this weekend to my website....the one I've been meaning to make for....oh 10 years.

the funkomavintage credo

I choose items that are fun, well-made, with a great sense of confidence. I live the Vintage Life, and resolutely believe that re-using is important....and vintage is simply better made and meant to last. It's real value for your money.Authentically handmade by a real person is a joy! The ultimate luxury is an item handcrafted by a person who lives free.
